“Ya`akov (Jacob) went on his way, and the angels of God met him.”
Genesis 32:2 CJB

We all have confrontations from time to time. Often times the best thing to do is just go on our way! We don’t need to fight, debate or argue with people, just go on our way. God will meet us!

“Leave me alone, you evildoers, so that I can keep my God’s mitzvot (commands).”
Psalm 119:115 CJB

Even though evildoers will always come against us, we don’t need to tangle with them. We can and should just walk away. It usually works out better!

“Shake off the dust! Arise! Be enthroned, Yerusshalayim! Loosen the chains on your neck, captive daughters of Tziyon!”
Isaiah 52:2 CJB

Today, with all the attacks coming against us from government, heath care and even neighbors, don’t let them bind you up. Just go out from them!
Have a blessed day walking with the LORD!
Shabbat Shalom!

“Then He brought him outside and said, Look up at the sky, and count the stars-if you can count them! Your descendants will be that many!”
Genesis 15:5 CJB

The same goes for us. We can’t even come close to counting all the amazing things the LORD does for us! What we can count on is His undying love for us and how He calls us His children!

“I will sing to Adonai, because He gives me more than I need.”
Psalm 13:6 CJB

We sometimes forget how much the LORD gives us and how much He blesses us on a daily basis! We are His children who He adores. That is amazing to me!

“Put your hope in Adonai, be strong, and let your heart take courage! Yes, put your hope in Adonai!”

Blessings!
Shabbat Shalom!

“I will take only what my troops have eaten and share of the spoil belonging to the men who came with me – `Aner, Eshkol and Mamre; let them have their share.”
Genesis 14:24 CJB

What a great thought here take only what you need and what belongs to you! The problem today is the world is full of greed. Enough never seems to be enough!

“I am Adonai your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt. Open your mouth , and I will fill it.”
Psalm 81:10 CJB

The thought here is when we are open to the LORD, He will fill us up with what we need, not what we want!

“For I know what plans I have in mind for you,’ says Adonai,’plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11 CJB

Today, realize the LORD has a perfect plan for all of us. He gives us what we need and that’s really all we should take! We all need to be careful of greed, which the enemy wants us to have!
Have a blessed day rejoicing in the things the LORD has given us!

“Avram moved his tent and came to live by the oaks of Mamre, which in Hevron. There he built an altar to Adonai.”
Genesis 13:18 CJB

When Avram saw all the LORD has given him, he built an altar to worship Him!

“Yes, I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift up my hands.”
Psalm 63:4 CJB

No matter what is going on in life, whether we are doing good or we are in desperate need, we need to bless the LORD!

“Bless Adonai, all His works, in every place where He rules! Bless Adonai, my soul!”
Psalm 103:22 CJB

Today, no matter what may be going on, in every situation we should bless the LORD! Remember the LORD is everywhere and is working out everything!
Have a amazing day sharing the goodness of the LORD!

“But there was a famine in the land, so Avram went down into Egypt to stay there, because the famine in the land was severe.”
Genesis 12:10 CJB

Two things here: first God never told Avram (Abraham) to leave the promised land and go down to Egypt (the world)! And second, just because we have conflict or life is uncomfortable doesn’t give us reason to leave! Too often believers look for easy ways out or just follow everyone else. Be careful of worldly thinking! Don’t follow the world, follow the LORD!

“I have said these things to you so that, united with me, you may have shalom. In the world, you have tsuris (tribulation). But be brave! I have conquered the world!”
John 16:33 CJB

Often times we get so caught up in our problem or trials instead of waiting on the LORD. We end up getting in the way trying to help God out! Big mistake, remember Avram ended up saying Sarah was his sister!

“Desist, and learn that I am God, supreme over the nations, supreme over the earth.”
Psalm 46:10 CJB

Today, realize God knows what’s going on around you and what we need to do is desist, drop it and let God take over! He has a plan and a way to deal with everything!
Have a blessed day in Him!
